An interview with visual artist and designer Roger Peet, a member of the Justseeds artists' cooperative. Roger speaks about the ways that visual communication can play a role in both conveying and pushing forward the message of social movement forces and collective demands. Roger speaks about working on a design to express solidarity with the student strike movement in Québec in 2012 as a moment of collective power and also work more recently that Roger has worked on to express in visual language solidarity with the Palestinian people. Roger like many Justseeds artists are very active in the visualization of critical collective struggles both locally and globally.

Poesía y sonidos del pueblo - Radio Nopal x Radio AlHara

This mix started with a recording in the rain that I did with Montréal based Ecuadorian poet Mireya Bayancela. I have known Mireya for many years now and often we cross paths at both Palestine solidarity actions but also gatherings to support the Immigrant Workers Centre, a grassroots community group in Côte-des-Neiges. This mix has been created for both Radio Nopal in Mexico City and Radio AlHara in Palestine. 

Below is the track listing for a mix that starts with Mireya reading two poems on a rainy afternoon in Montréal, I was there with my daughter doing the recording live. I have included some additional tracks by artists that I felt good about highlighting who have musician practices that consider and express emotional landscapes around the intersections between sound, justice and our world today.
